Why is wood seen as a climate-neutral fuel, but coal and oil are not? All these fuels are based on composed organism that collected carbons over their lifetimes, that are now used as a fuel. The only difference is the cycle time.

Because you burn wood that would eventually rot in the bush releasing carbon anyway.
Yes coal is totally natural and carbon neutral on a milion year cycle, but if you leave it alone it won’t burn by itself and unbalance our atmosphere. On the other hand wood will rot and make carbon anyway. So burning it is almost neutral toward the climate we like to have.
Coal is friendly with a climate we don’t want to have. Unless you are a lizard, you don’t want that climate. We like this climate.
